Windows 8 needed some work initially. Once 8.1 came out it became a lot better. There is a noticeable difference in performance with Windows 8.1 and it’s server counterpart 2012 (R2). As a 8.1 power user, I can tell you I spend maybe <1% of my computer time in the Tile/Metro screen. Lots of keyboard shortcuts (which…

100% agreement. My wife left a salon, which cost her some clients and in turn money. She wound up at a much better salon where she is steadily building up more clients. She is a lot happier and in an environment that is properly managed and owned. I’d much rather make less and be at a job I love. If you can make money…
My new job (second week here) offered double what I was previously making. Call me foolish but I didn’t dare ask for a cent more.
Yep, I worked for a college and most people were really good about being polite. I never belittled anyone about not knowing something simple. You know what, they were a lot better at their job then I would be. I don’t care if you’re a VP or a custodian, we’re all doing a job and I’ll give you all the respect I can. If…
Not with group policy.
I’m with you, I work in IT all day, but I still like a challenge and it’s usually pretty simple stuff. I also like educating people about making some better choices. Especially with their backups! Toss it in dropbox, a external drive, whatever.
Honestly I rarely ran into a problem. I pushed updates usually either by major version or major changes. Flash, Java, Reader, etc were low priority updates. I also used SCCM which I would highly recommend to an IT Admin.
Yep, you have to apply for distribution rights to distribute Adobe software (even the free stuff). It’s a free and relatively quick process, but you might as well do it.
Perfect timing on this article as a switch jobs on monday.
As a dog owner and someone who doesn’t want kids in his life...I will respectfully disagree with your statement. I love my dog.
As stated above in the article...Set up that two-factor authentication. Especially if Gmail is your central place for email (Password resets).
Agreed, I was probably in the front seat by 5 or 6. Now kids are just getting out of the car seats in time for their road test.
I'm lucky to have one relatively close by. At the service desk if you are an AAA member, you receive an additional card that is good at certain stores for additional discounts. Something like 10% off $100 or more at Gap, the vary per store. I used a discount to get two Brooks Brothers suits for $500.
I just hope they store the passwords in plain text so it’s secure

Completely agree with the volume, although sometimes I inadvertently turn it down when putting my headset on. Not a huge deal. I also had the Corsair Vengence 1200 I think it was. The sound quality just wasn't the same despite the software that they have for 5.1 sound.

Just purchased two pairs of "nicer" quality shoes on eBay that were slightly used. I'm not sure if that counts as thrifty or gross. Either way I got them for a lot cheaper than retail.
+1 I'd also suggest watching some techniques of Mike O'Hearn.
